Photography is a very expensive book but maybe you can get it in a library. It's a standard photo class textbook:

Photography by London and Upton is a pretty popular general photography text. Fortunately it does have a chapter on large format photography and also addresses the particular considerations of large format film in its film/print processing chapters. Even if you aren't planning to develop on your own, I think it's important to know. This book probably has the necessary minimum info to get started without having to flip back and forth through different web sites. All versions of the text are pretty much the same, so you can pick up a used one for less than $5. It's also common enough you might find it in a library.
If you are doing 4x5, you should probably also be attempting to learn the zone system, which this text conveniently also has a chapter on.

Great compendium! You can easily get a cheap used copy on Ebay, the newest edition is vastly overpriced (and not necessarily much better than older editions).
